Also, what are the average speeds of the train between Hearst and Timiskaming Shores and from there to North Bay?

Having mixed (freight and passenger) trains won't happen. It used to be done on the Cochrane to Moosonee route but isn't anymore and that route had no stops along it. (that train will stop anywhere on the track if you flag it down though)
I highly doubt that the Ford government will actually go ahead with passenger rail service between Toronto and Cochrane.
